IBM Books

Extent size

This box contains the number of pages that are written to a container before the database manager skips to the next container. The database manager uses this value to cycle through the containers as data is stored. (The size of a page is selected in the Page size field.)

Initially, this field displays the default value of the dft_extent_sz configuration parameter.

To change the extent size, use one of these methods:

[ Top of Page | Table of Contents | Glossary | Index ]

[ DB2 List of Books | Search the DB2 Books ]
